24 Jun–23 Aug 2025About the show
Following its world premiere in 2017, Girl from the North Country returns to The Old Vic for a strictly limited run.
It’s 1934 and, with life on a knife edge, the community of Duluth are battling their way through the Great Depression. Amongst the dust and the hardship, a group of wayward travellers find each other — experiencing love, loss, life and everything in between, in a local guesthouse filled with music, hope and soul.
With a company of 23 actors and musicians, award-winning playwright Conor McPherson beautifully weaves the iconic songbook of Bob Dylan into this smash hit show.
Don’t miss your final chance to see this multi-Tony and Olivier Award winner as it returns to where it all began, for nine weeks only.
